[CHRON] Yao and Tmac on Jimmy Kimmel Live this Friday

I was definately disappointed. I read that article and couldnt wait all week to see this. Not nearly as funny as described in the article

 

same here

 

i've never seen kimmel's show before tonight, it was ok at best.

it probably would have been more entertaining on conan but honestly on a non-sports show with non-sports questions theres only so much you can do with two basketball players. kimmel did pretty well given the circumstances and yao got a nice quote in. the chronicle did make it sound a whole lot funnier though.

 

I thought Kimmel went for the "lives with his Mom and Dad" joke too much. Especially since Yao does have his own place in town. Yao should have piped up about that.

Obviously the chronicle piece was much better. It was in a more intimate setting, with more time, and the benefit of editing. But it was interesting to see Yao laughing at all of Kimmel's corny jokes. I still marvel at Yao's command of the English language after only speaking it for a few years.

 

thanks for the hookup, i liked it. The only problem is that i can only understand about 30% of the words Yao is saying.

 

They'll be better of if they were on David Letterman.
Dave is the best in show bussiness. (atfer Carson retired of course)

 

The article was funnier because it was more about the whole experience rather than just the show itself.

 

can someone upload hall & oates to youtube.

plz

for the love of humanity

 

I stayed up late to watch it, was not too impressed. But we won the game!!!

 

I like the joke about brokeback movie. Steve Francis would be more jealous by now

 

Kimmel's jokes about Yao's parents was funny the first time, but the guy was making fun of Yao at his expense. What an idiot for doing so. THe guy has no originality..keeps poking at the same joke. moron.

 

Kimmel is even worse at laughing at his own jokes than Dennis Miller. Next time, his writers need to come up with some better questions.

 

The article was better than the show. Yao didn't seem to like the jokes about living with his parents. T-Mac was relaxed and helped Yao out.

 

Yao's command of the English language after such a short time is amazing ~ little 'in' jokes he threw out there like "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" -- very cool.

 

Yao was just hilarious and really, he nailed all jimmy's humor like he is from here.

 

It was aight...seemed very akward between the 3 mostly b/c T-Mac seems like a shy dude and Yao was nervous.

 

T-Mac and Yao ... just the two of us! It was nice!

 

Yeah, the whole interview was basically based on one joke. I was expecting much out of Kimmel, that's why I don't watch his show. And like the other poster said, Tmac seems shy and Yao seems like a quiet guy, so it seemed a little awkward. Cool nonetheless to see our guys in a different setting.

 

Is there a link to this story? Thanks

 

I think the original story came from JVG on 610 before the season started. He said Yao told him some guy asked out his girlfriend. She responded by saying, "I can't, I'm Yao Ming's girlfriend." He didn't believe her and said something like, "yeah, right...".
